But it says here: "I've gone around the world with two Leica M6 bodies and three lenses, an 35, a 50 and a 90mm. Since starting to photography ain color a few years ago I carry one camera loaded with black and white and one with color negative. Since 1961 my only camera has been a Leica. I use Fuji 100 color neg and Neopan 1600 B&W" So when he grabs his color body he's got to open up 4 stops! or go from 250th to a 15th! Runs his negs in Rodinal since 1960 and prints with a Focomat 1C that Robert Frank gave him. Prefers Bad negatives. They have "more potential". Prints on Gallerie. Why don't you like this guy Sal???!!!!! Markwr
